Forbes Magazine just released the 2012 list of their annual
Celebrity 100 list, where stars are judged on 2 criteria: their level of fame and presence in the media, and how much they earned before taxes.
Topping the 2012 list is my personal favorite leading lady, Miss Jennifer Lopez.
She brought in $52 million dollars last year, stemming from her gig as a judge on
American Idol, new movies, new music, endorsement deals, her clothing line, fragrance line, and more.
Coming in strong in the #2 spot is media mogul
Oprah Winfrey, who added $165 million dollars to her bank account last year.
Even though she signed off from her daytime talk show after 25 years, and her new cable network
OWN has struggled in the ratings,
Lady O is still going strong and is the highest earner on this year's list. She's still got O: The Oprah Winfrey
Magazine, her spin offs like
The Dr. Oz Show, and her radio deal with
Sirius.
Spot #3 belongs to teenage powerhouse Justin Bieber who drew in $55 million dollars last year, after selling 12 million albums and captivating the hearts of his 21 million Twitter followers.
Rihanna comes in strong at #4 with $53 million dollars earned last year, and Lady Gaga rounds out the top 5, pulling in $52 million dollars.
Also on the list are stars like Kim and
Khloe Kardashian,
Ashton Kutcher,
Angelina Jolie,
Taylor Swift,
LeBron James,
Simon Cowell, and more.
As for who's been on the list before but couldn't quite measure up this year?
The Black Eyed Peas,
James Cameron,
Charlie Sheen,
Usher,
Robert Pattinson, and
Jay Leno.
